Nam Budd welcome everyone to another video hope you're having a great day today I'm at the Viewpoint of our Monastery it's a nice view out here so in this video let's talk about the gratefulness and the Gratitude now this is one of the major qualities that we practice in Buddhism okay Buddha considered the Gratitude and the gratefulness as the mother of all the good qualities in Maham Mangal the Buddha says having a grateful mind is a blessing for your life okay so how can we practice this gratitude and what is the meaning of gratitude now the word that is given to uh gratitude given for the Gratitude in Buddhism is called Katan Katan means the ability to remember what one have done to you that means the helps that have done to you if you can remember the people and the helps that you have given okay people have done to you then that is called the Gratitude so how can we practice this well you can be grateful and you can be thankful for almost everything in your life for an example let's say you wake wake up in the morning and then what you can do is you can be grateful for your life okay for waking up in the morning for breathing and for having a life because most of the times like so many people last night they could not wake up in the morning okay so we can be grateful for our life and then if let's say you take your foot plate to your hand you can practice gratitude in there how you can be grateful for the people who made that that food maybe your wife maybe your husband maybe someone who help you okay so you can be grateful for them you can say that thank you okay I genuinely you can say that thank you I grateful for you okay because of you because of you people I I live happily and I live in comfort in my life when you do that you practice that mind of gratitude in your life okay and also there are so many things that you can be grateful for okay let's say you're using a computer right you can be grateful for your computer because it makes your life so much easier you can be grateful for the people who made that computer okay and also let's say um you're walking down a street okay and you you're walking down a nice lane and then you can be grateful for the people who made the road okay you can be grateful for the nature that you're around here's the thing you can be grateful for everything in your life because sometimes it is difficult for us to be happy with our life okay because when we go through tough times when we hit the problems in our life we start to think like my life is not valuable okay my life is worthless and there's nothing to be happy about my life but if you really think about it if you really consider about it there are thousands and thousands of things that we can be happy about and we can be thankful for okay so that is what you call the Buddhist positive thinking okay Buddha considered this as the bless blessing for your life and also the Buddha said in in Maham mangala suta Buddha mentions that s and Katan is a blessing for your life Sanu means being happy with what you have and katuta means being grateful for what you have these two qualities are a blessing for your life it's it makes your life so much fulfilled and so much happier okay so in every morning okay in every morning take a little time to practice this gratitude in your life okay wake up in the morning and say that I am thankful for my life okay I am thankful for the people who lived around me who helped me okay who was there with me in my life in the hardest times and also in the same time we can be happy about the tough times and bad people in our life too okay so many people don't think about this because we become grateful for the only the only for the good people and the good situations in our life no we can be grateful for the bad people and difficult situations in our life how can we do that well because of the bad people and because of the bad situations and tough situations in our life our life became so much interesting right imagine if your life became all the things like you got all the things you wanted okay and there were all the people who were good and nice to you okay you didn't face any tough situations in your life there there's nothing more interesting nothing much interesting about your life but because of the bad people and because of the tough situations and the bad days in our life our life became so much interesting no because there there is some there's a story for us to tell okay there is an interesting story for us to tell that is why the more we Face tough situations our life becomes so much interesting so we can be thankful for the bad people and say like thank you for giving me tough times thank you for bringing me the the giving me the ability and giving me the ability to practice the patience and love and kindness and compassion for you because of few people in that way you can be you see if you think about it you can be grateful for every situation and everything in your life so every single day when you wake up in the morning take a little moment to say thank you for everything and every people and every person in your life so keep that in your mind and practice this wonderful quality of gratitude Nam Budd
